Would you feed raw?

I would to everyone but Jimmy. He can't eat meat and he's on a special food.

I voted no. Dogs are still suseptible to bacteria and food poisoning, so I would be more inclined to feed a homemade cooked diet. All cooking destroys some nutrients, but that does not mean that dogs are unable to get anything from it. And personally I think the risks involved with eating raw meat outweight the potential benefits of getting more nutrients from a piece of meat simply from not cooking it. I was initially interested in it, but after more research I guess I don't quite feel comfortable with the idea.

I am also somewhat wary of people who advocate a raw diet to the point of lunacy- I've googled it and gotten some pretty outrageous claims! A better diet will certainly improve a dog's health, but it can only do so much- genetics and environment still play a big role. And, I'm not trying to give anyone else advice, this is just my opinion! I respect other's choices in what they want to feed their dog.
